We have effected arrangements with
DIR. Traphagen, graduate of Columbia
School of Mines and now instructor in
chemistry in the Staunton Male Academy,
for furnishing qudlitdtire analyses of lion
and manganese ores, ochres, &c. These
reports will determine the quality OF the
metal and whether they are of sufficient
value to justify development, and VIII
be furnished free. Should a qudntitatare
analysis be desired, it will be supplied at a
reasonable cost.
Parties sending specimens must pay all
charges of transportation on materials 10
this office.
The result of the analysis Will be pub

The Am endment.


To the Herald.
The proposed amendment to the constitu-
ton reads as follows:
The manufacture, sale aid exchange OF
intoxicating liquors, except for medical,
mechanical, scientific and sacramental pur-
poses, is hereby prohibited in the State oil
Texas, etc.
This amendment will leave all brewers III
Texas at perfect liberty to manufacture
and sell rs much beer as the people can
drink, provided it will not intoXicate, and
all grape growers TO make and sell all the
wine they possibly can, provided 1t VIII not
cause drunkenness.
If this "personal liberty" is too re-
stricted, is not satisfactory to them, then
we must conclude that 1t Is not the liberty
TO manufacture and sell beer and wine that
the antis desire so much as 1t Is the liberty
to do that which will cause drunkenness
inebriety, infatuation, delirium.
Good beer can be made in Texas which
will sell readily and will not intoxicate, ano
good wine can be pressed from the Texa'
grapes which will not cause drunkenness
In the cOInUllbblOuci VI hkiiO uituiS ~tON

1874 different netive wines, but did not have

WHY Does the Car Stick.

Paris Letter to the London Truth.
Why on earth does the Car, by
sticking to the throne, remain butt
ior dynamite? He could-his per-
sonal fortune being enormous-retire
from the regal business with overflow
ing Golfers. Living in palace is not,
in our time, the exceptional thing
that it was quarter OF century
back. Most palaces are cut out by
the grand modern hotels OF Paris,
Switzerland, the Riviera, and North
cumberland avenue, in London. A
monarch who does his duty to the
State is very nearly in the position OF
a person residing in one OF these cara.
vanseries IN grand private suit OF
rooms and always surrounded by
waiters-only in his case tho walters
are called chamberlains and gentle
men ushers, and are little more OBJ
seouious than ordinary hotel attend
ants laundering for tips. The Car
was here incognito last winter. He
had with him an aide-decamp, a Sec
retary, valet, and dog. AS he
gave stringent orders that his incogni-
to was to be respected by his suite, the
gentlemen fell back upon the mastitf
as an objective for the reverence which
thew were in the habit OF lavishing on
the master. The Car lodged in the
Rue de la Boetie in fiat lent him by
a Russian. An English friend, who
resides in the same house, watched
closely the movements OF his imperial
fellow-lodger and those OF his suite.
He tells me that Alexander was just
like freshely emancipated school
boy, 30 overjoyed was he at being
freed from the dread OF dynamite, and
that he expressed his state OF feeling
in eleeful manifestations and boyish
practical Jokes. The dog shared his
10y, and the two courtiers followed
not the Cars, but the dogs lead
Does it not strike you as incompre
hensible that Alexander ILL.,, who has
certainly no genius for government
and prefers chopplng wood and play
ing the piano to State affairs, should
when he can be so happy in private
life, cling to his exposed and dreary
positionY AS an Empereur in exil
were the exile voluntary, he could b'
as happy as the day is long, II, o
course, he retired with a full pocket
which there is nothing to prevent hin
from doing.

Railroad Men Come High.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
When talking with the genial presi-
dent of the New York Central railroad
the other day, the conversation turn
ed on the development OF the railway
systems OF the country. Said Mr..
Depew: "Few people have any idea
OF the extent and completely OF the
railroads OF this country. And
scarcely any one but those who have
tried it realizes the difficulties in the
way OF successfully operating them.
The large expense involved ana the
keen competition met on every hand,
render the problem OF how to make a
railroad pay one which comparative
w few can solve. In fact, our roads
have lately grown so rapidly that the
number OF men who are properly
equipped to manage them successfully
is very limited. When the interstate
commission was recently created,
gave it as my opinion that it would
be almost impossible for the President
to secure as commissioners practical
railroad men OF recognized ability
owing to the small salary attached tc
the Office. This was taken up by pa
pers all over the country.
4" How is this. Mr.. Depew, they
said, when many OF our ablest divines
judges and journalists don't get an,
more than 81, 900 a Year, Why then
should railroad commissioner gel
more2' they demanded.
'"The reasons, think, are obvious
Practical railroad men are already EN-
ployed. Men who can make a railroad
pay can command almost any salaries
they choose. Stockholders OF road
must have them at any price II the!
wish to keep their companies solvent
Prof. Huxley would not be likely Il
make successful business man, ant
large mercantile concern would no
be very safe in his hands. In tn
same way the management OF grea
railway could not be safely entruste'
to one OF our ablest divines. 1t is tn
special ability to make the road pa
that is valuable"

Takes 1t All Back.

The Texas Volksblatt OF yesterday
contained an editorial which said that
in an account of prohibition meeting
on Ross avenue addressed by Charles
+. Clint and Col. Crawford the paper
said:
With what arguments the prohibit
ton arty fights you can deduct from
n remark of Crawford, who pretended
that no woman could be virtuous who
is not on the side of prohibition.
The editor now says that the above
statement is wholly false and entirely
unjusiifiable by anything said by Col
Crawford In his speech, and that the
statement was made without personal
knowledge of what Col. Crawford in
fact did say.

REPUBLICAN VS.. DEMOCRAT.

Jimmy p. Newcomb has published
"an appeal to Republicans to vote
against prohibition and here are some
of his reasons which we commend to
such Democrats in Da las county who
may fear the amendment is undemo-
cratic. lie says:
ave say to Republicans over Texas
stand as one man AMI vote against
prohibition. Let the Democracy take
up it's own bastard, and be RESPONSE
bic for the consequences"
Republicans who vote Tor prohibi-
ton must make up their minds to stay
with the prohibition party 4; 1t Will
come to this at last"
Fortunately for us in Texas, pro-
hibition means Democracy and Dem
ocracy means prohibition. The last
Democratic platform declared that
prohibitionist and Democrat meant
one and the same thing. We have no
difficulty in knowing our adversary
let us shoot our ballot straight at his
eye"

Kaufman Grape Crop.
Special to TIE Herald.

Special to tie Herald.
KAUFMAN, June 2.-Your paper is last
becoming the popular paper Of our county,
owing to its firm stand in defense Of the
peoples rights 40 against that great monop-
DIV. the LOU or traffic. II need no longer be
asserted that prohibition does not prohibit,
for at Prairieyille, in this county, where In
former times the saloon reigned in all its
glory, is now peace, and no Saturday
carousals are ever witnessed; and at Kemp,
where local option went into effect short
lime since, you see no effects Of the liquor
trafic, except now and then the results Of
Mother winslow's Strengthening Cordial
or something of the kind, incident to the
winding up OF the business there.
The grape crop, however, in the eyes OF
the True Blues, has grown 10 the most enor-
nous proportions in this county and II the
ordinary anti's Imagination be correct, the
grape crop Of Kaufman county will exceed
her wheat or cotton production this year.
Kaufman county is poor county on corn
and cotton production, but for grapes and
wine she beats the world. The general
surmise Of our people is that OWING to the
late rains the three railways spanning our
county will be busy all summer moving the
crane and wine crop out Of our county TO
the markets Of the world The watch word
